Anything that's not really prog but still well liked by the collabs ends up in either proto prog or prog related. |

Yes, it seems that there's prog and everything else that's cool is related. Somehow.

I openly admit that my position regarding "misuse" of the word "prog" is a minority one here (it isn't at the progressive rock round table here in this city). But I have realized something. There is another thing that has been bugging me about current prog: its stagnation. There hasn't been much new stuff which went beyond what has been there in the mid-90s. Dream Theater and Marillion, for instance, more or less do the same things now they did 20 years ago. Now, both the "misuse of the word" and the "stagnation" set in at about the same time, namely in the mid-90s! So it looks as if they are two sides of the same coin: it is just that prog has advanced past the point to which I was ready to follow back then. I am thus a similar old fogey as those who are into 70s symph-prog and can't chew neo-prog, only with a much later cut-off point, in a way. Still, I feel that what happened at that cut-off point in the mid-90s was so tremendous that I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it, but well, things change.

see here for the various "for and against" arguments: www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55114 - their move from PR to Crossover was not a decision that was taken lightly - the Xover team at the time (Micky, Chris S and myself) took note of the posts in that thread, discussed it at length and then proposed the move to the Admin team, who in turn gave their approval. Shortly after that a similar proposal to move Muse from PR to Xover following the release of The Resistance (the album with the "Exogenesis Symphony") was rejected by the Xover team. In retrospect, (6 years later), I believe we made the right decision on both bands. |

If this was the case the PR and PP would have more bands than all the "wholly prog" subgenres added together... and we'd have to change the site name to Rate Your Music Archives. |

We might as well change it to that. |
